Tempering
When you arrive at conclusions just as I do after a fight
So sure in your arguments, because you believe you are always right
Know that words once spoken can’t go back
They stay etched in a heart, broken by slack
Aspire to find balance in your words n temper
Anyway and every way, always and forever
For a calm heart and mind find focus
Amongst the chaos of fight n fuss
It hones the perspective, filling it with energy
You find success with ease and honesty
Find your centre in acceptance
By stepping away from anger and menace
Aspire to find balance in your words and temper
Anyway and every way, always and forever!!!!

There is love in stillness. When we are angry and upset, we do not come from a place of joy.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Paul for such lovelt words- you are quite right about love in stillness!
I really like this.
Thanks so much Kathleen!
So true.I usually think twice before I speak.But there have been many people whose words have hurt me.I am sure at least a few of them spoke at the spur of the moment and would be regretting what they said.Nice poem with well expressed thoughts!
Thanks Subha! I know this looking before one speaks is so so important but so so difficult to do. All the best to you with that too.

Thanks so much, glad you like it.
What a wonderful take on the prompt Shalz! Wouldn’t this world be a sweeter place if we all followed this?
Golden words. Should be etched in one’s heart!
Beautiful words Shalzy, right now I am trying to find peace amidst so much chaos everywhere. The world would be a better place if people follow these golden words.
P.S. Thanks for the wonderful gift and letter. It’s instagram worthy. Ill be posting that soon
Beautiful words! I am guilty of saying mean things when I’m angry or upset. But yes, I think we should all watch what we say when angry.
A calm annd focussed mind is a necessity. I lack behind in maintaining a serene composture these days. I need to work on it. Loved the idea put forward, Shalz 🙂
